The Bureau of Immigration (BOI) of the Philippines has issued a notice to remind foreign nationals holding an Alien Certificate Registration (ACR-I) card to complete the mandatory annual reporting between January 1, 2024 and March 1, 2024.
Personal appearance is mandatory for ACR-I card holders. Individuals will need to bring their original ACR-I card/original paper-based ACR together with their original valid passport. BOI no longer allows representatives to complete the annual report on behalf of the ACR-I card holder.
Certain individuals are exempted from the mandatory personal appearance. They are:
- Those aged below 14 years, or 60 years and above;
- Those who hold a Person with a Disability ID; and
